MARCH 1ST 2008>>> It's seems very likely that the next Mastodon album will be released in September 2008. The album at this stage does not have a title however one song name has been revealed. "The Ghost of Karilla" is one that has been confirmed by drummer Brann Dailor.
In a recent Rock Sound article
"I dont want to give the theme away but I think the
song title will leave a few people guessing. It's
top secret. I can't divulge that information. It's
more fun keeping it under wraps, but you can be
assured that it's definitely another MASTODON record
which is going to further in a couple of different
directions and the stuff we've written so far is
heavier than I expected."
In tour news...SLIPKNOT, DISTURBED, DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON will the main stage on the first Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival tour, set to kick off July 9th at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle. The tour will hit 30 cities in the US and Canada between early July and late August. The tour will have two second stages - one featuring SEVENDUST, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, 36 CRAZYFISTS and the Jägermeister Battle of The Bands Winner.

September 29th 2007>>> As you may have heard in the press in recent times, Brent was hospitalized over an incident after the VMA Award's earlier this month. Now I'm not going to go into details as they are all over the net, but an update from the man himself say's he is doing fine and playing guitar like a demon and coming out with heaps of riffs for the next album which is being written right now. Look out for an L.A show with QotSA on October 29th. Also keep an eye for a new addition to the Mastodon family on stage. The band look likely to record in January or February 2008 for a release later in the year.

February13th 2007>>> So Mastodon didn't win a Grammy, but they sure looked sweet on the red carpet  .
Congrats to Slayer who did take home a little statue.On other news, the forum has now been taken down due to the fact that the official forum is now stable and I can use the space for exciting new downloads which should happen within the next month or so. The discography section will be updated over this coming weekend as a few new promo's have found there way here including a little know Naked Burn radio edit. The Australian Tour has been selling extremely well and most shows will be probably sell out very soon. On release news, there are rumblings that there might be a new release of sorts coming out soon, and possibly not on Warner's. More news when everything's official. |
